Grow Everything LIVE: The Race to Remake Everything

April 23, 2026

Join us for a live recording of the Grow Everything podcast during DC Climate Week 2026. Hosts Erum Azeez Khan and Karl Schmieder will be joined by investors, policy leaders, and founders to discuss the future of U.S. biomanufacturing — and whether the country can keep pace with global competitors in the transition from petrochemical inputs to biological manufacturing.

The conversation will cover the current competitive landscape, what is scaling now across fermentation, synthetic biology, and biological materials, and what policy and capital frameworks are needed to build domestic biomanufacturing infrastructure. With China having declared biomanufacturing a national strategic priority, the discussion will focus on where the United States stands and what it will take to close the gap.

Coffee, light bites, and networking will be available before and after the recording.
